I finally got that subscription I've been wanting to sign up for! Now managing my account will be much easier... And I get to have lovely banners again.

I wanted to officially announce that my Etsy shop, my Commissions page, and My art blog are now open. I am trying to have a larger online presence, to help sell art so I can afford to go to school.

So there will be more activity in the coming weeks. More posts, more pictures going up, more things being added to my shop, etc.
And of course, more comments on others work!


Please take the time if you have it to visit:

Anime boston was a great success this year, besides the painful three hour wait for registration, and I had a very good time. I made about a third more of what I made last year, and I got to meet draw a lot of lovely people pictures.


If you're reading this and you saw me at the con, Please add me as your friend (if you wish) and let me know what you think! All helpful comments and critiques are warmly welcomed.

I hope to go again next year!

OH lord I thought it would never end. I'm sorry if you actually read this.

It has been sooo long. I can tell because I have over a thousand messages, three of which are comments. I feel bad about being so absent... but I am a busy gal. Very busy. In college, living in the city, taking 12 thousand classes and doing tons of artwork.

But I am going to try and be better! To come back and actually post consistently like I once did. It was tough over the summer because I had no access to a scanner. But I've got some time coming up after the holidays so I'm going to try to be good and update, comment, show love and support and all of that jazz.

I really need to clean out my inbox... If I have any money left over from the holidays I am going to buy a subscription, that makes it so much easier to go through images. And then I can make pretty journal entries. I need to go through and edit who I watch also. Like, thousands of artists, and I just can't handle that much art anymore, it just won't work.



Otherwise, HELLO. God knows if anyone is even watching me anymore.
I am shamed.

I am officially moved out of the dorm and back home. I am partly thrilled and partly miserable.

I loved my dorm in Boston, I love the city, I love the area that my school is in. It was sad to say goodbye to my room and it was painful to pack up all my stuff, mostly because I had so much shit.

I'm glad to be back home because I love my house, and am so excited to see all of my friends who are back from college.

Goals for the summer:
-PRODUCTIVE ART STUFF
-job
-get over my dislike of driving and get my license
-sell all my old shit on ebay to make room for my new crap.
-take a metal/jewelry making class


Also I am dating a lovely new sex pot of a man, who turns out has a deviant art account? Apparently everyone and their mother has a DA account. But he has one so HERE I GO A PIMPIN IT:
